The Class 60s: One to One Hundred (100-mins)

It's now exactly 25 years since the first Class 60 was unveiled. This special Silver Anniversary edition commemorates this event and features each and every one Class 60 at work in sequence from 60001 to 60100 spannng the period 1991 to 2014. Almost all liveries appear, from early Trainload decals right to through to the latest Colas colours.

Each locomotive is introduced in sequence with a fact screen giving details of date to traffic, initial name, livery & current status. This is followed by a video clip of the loco in action.

The 20 year reign of the diesel-hydraulic locomotives introduced by the Western Region of BR left behind wonderful and unforgettable memories for almost all rail fans.

Featuring scenes from as far back as 1962, this programme includes rare sights such as mixed steam and diesel workings, diesel-hydraulic pairings and even tripple headed "Warships" on the Cornish Riviera Express!

See and hear the sight and sound of Westerns, Warships, Hymeks, NBL Type 2 diesels and even the prototype "Falcon" in full flight.

Liveries include BR Blue, Green, Maroon and rare chromatic blue applied to some locomotives. Filmed in the glorious West of England, and on the routes to Bristol and London, this programme cpatures the magical scenes that were once an everyday sight.

Western Renaissance (62-mins)

This film is like no other Western video. It includes rare footage captured primarily in Devon and Cornwall by just a few enthusiasts chasing their favourite type of locomotive before time ran out in February 1977. This film carries almost entirely original soundtrack and features more than half of the class of Western locomotives.

Because of this we see it exactly as it was in those days. The programme contains captions and brief commentary but careful production ensures that the Westerns do the talking! As a result this video features a symphony of diesel hydraulic thrash!

As the title suggests, this is no ordinary video for after 25 years we can witness a Western once more where it belongs, with views of the return to the main line in 2002 of "Western Champion".

Included are not only impressive lineside shots but also views from right behind the engine. Travel with us into Cornwall with "Western Glory", over the Devon Banks with "Western Duke" and "Western Trooper", and onto the Paignton branch with "Western Pathfinder"

37..and Still Going Strong (60-mins)

Released in July 1998 "37 ... And Still Going Strong" is the first in this series of videos marking a tribute to this famous class of diesel locomotive. Nationwide views combine the unmistakable sight and sound of more than 100 class 37s on both freight and passenger workings throughout the 1990s. Almost all livery variations are included from BR blue to EWS.

Full colour and captions including locos/location/train details.

Narrative is deliberately omitted so as not to compromise the distinctive sound of the Class 37s at work.

Stars of Steam Vol 1 features the highlights of mainline steam runs in the West Country & Wales over the years 1999-2001.

As always, special attention has been given to acquire dramatic video footage so as to show these wonderful machines at their best.
